| Defect Summary | Polaris is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 indian motorcycles for the body control module (bcm) which can cause the headlight to turn off in some circumstances. if the headlight switch is slowly moved from one position to another (high beam to low beam or low beam to high beam), both beams may be on momentarily and the bcm interprets this as an overload condition. | |||||||||||||||

| Corrective Summary | Dealers will replace the bcm free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin during august 2011. owners may contact polaris at 1-651-408-7579. | |||||||||||||||
